Those are all great questions. I was thinking of adding some of my 44net IPs to my web server so I could offer free web hosting for HAMS. All non-HAM sites would be on standard public IPs.
I do have my DMR hotspots running on my 44net addresses since it is Amateur Radio communications. I have the updated routed to go through my main Internet connection, so the clarification on that would help.

Subject: [44net] Clarification on Terms of Service
Hi all,
The Terms of Service states:
"Your license permits You to use certain addresses exclusively for the purpose of Amateur Radio communications and experimentation, or other special uses as may be agreed
to by ARDC"
I was wondering if this was clarified anywhere with examples of acceptable use cases? A few examples that I'm curious if they're permitted or not:
- Hosting a radio club website that's accessible from the public internet, including from non radio amateurs.
- Providing general outbound internet access for radio amateurs connecting via RF, whether its AX.25 or WiFi operating on the allocated amateur radio frequencies
- Hosting not strictly amateur radio services such as an IRC server for discussing cars, but it's
only reachable from other 44net addresses and RF users
- Providing general outbound internet access to servers and services that might need to pull software updates from non-radio amateur servers.
- Providing connectivity to a radio amateur related server such as a DMR Master, to other radio amateur related servers
outside of 44net
Any guidance would be appreciated.
